In general the arrangement of contents is as follows; — first, numerals
and (lays of the month — second, easy graded lessons on every day topics —
third, rules for the use of Classifiers — fourth, Chinese and English phrases —
fittli, the "Sarm Chee Kuu" — sixth, how to recoguize Chinese characters
ami the use of a Chinese dictionary — seventh, the earth, the five great
continents, their names and some of the subdivisions thereof — eighth,
man's occupations together with his household arrangements, and the contents
of his home — ninth, miscellaneous words, etc. — tenth, and most important
of all, are set forth opposite each Chinese character, the exact meaning and
phonetic pronunciations of the Chinese characters as sounded by the Cantonese
themselves, together with a literal translation and a polished transliteration
superimposed thereat, for the purpose of explaining exactly the meaning
intended; hence the name of the book, "Chinese Made Easy".

There are other contents of our book which we have not enumerated.
Giving thus the origin aad explanation of Chinese words etc., why may not
this same book, likewise be of great service to the Chinese in easily
acquiring the English language?

Such is our introduction this Anno Domini, 1903.

Translation of the Chinese Preface pg. sii.

Inasmuch as the Chinese and Foreigners now universally exchange their
products, it often happens that English speaking people wish to learn
Chinese; moreover the Chinese themselves wish often to learu English for
the purpose of commercial intercourse.

It has been a matter of regret to each that heretofore there has been
no convenient handbook that would enable the one to learn the other's
language. To meet this demand, we have under the title — "Chinese Made
Easy", especially prepared this book.

EASY LESSONS IN CHINESE WRITING.

The Ibllowiug 1000 wonls have been carefully selected and are arrano-ed
for the sake of practice under stroke headings. These Roman Numerals,
I, II, III, etc., at the top of the columns show the number of strokes
necessary to form each character. We haveu given the character written out
in large type aud in small printed type so as to aid the student not only
in the art of writing Chinese characters, but also in the art of readiu"'
ordinary Chinese type. It is really aualagous to our native primers which
give not only the large type but also the small type.

Opposite each Chinese character will be found a small numeral; this is
a key to the Radical under which the word will be found in the Chinese
dictionary. Serious students would do well by attempting the verification of
these words both as to "stroke" and Radical number.

or less easy to be identified, until tiie impossibilities of a wholly pictorial
language gave place to the phonetic system upon wliieh the present characters
are based. Thus the ancient Chinese drew a rude picture to represent the
sound by which they designated a /lorfi', viz: ,f]^ mail But witii a very
limited number of vocables, it followed that the sound mau with differences
iu intonation, did duty in tiie spoken language for other ideas as mak tnolher;
MAR aijiiie: MAii a locust; mar prawns; mar to airsc; MAit t/ie head of a led
etc. By the phonetic system the Chinese wrote down each of the above as

,^ MAR horse, and then added a disfitifiuishiiig character on the left of the
sign for Mak, thus givii'ff origin to the parts of the Chinese word which we
have denominated RADICALS e. g. add the sign JQ woman — add the sign

^ gent — add the sigu ^ insect — add the sign '^ fish — add the
sign P mouth — add the sigu 7J^ wood — each to the left of the word
and picture ,|fi mar horse and we get jl^ woman-horse i. e. mother; I^
jade-horse, i.e. agate; jj^ insect-horse i.e. locust; g^ fish-horse i. e. prawns

Ri| nwuth-horse i.e. to curse; ^^ wood-horse i.e. head of a bed.

Iu many cases these composite characters became the phonetics of other
sets of characters, distinguished in like manner by appropriate radicals.
Again there is a small class of so called "ideographic" characters where the
sense of the component parts yields the sense of the whole; e.g. ^ tree,

jdl^ a forest, ^^ dense, or obscure. ^ man ^ west, ^ country combined
becomes jW '''western nation man". The student is also referred to the introductory
note to Lesson I and he should familiarize himself gradually with all of the
214 radicals.

The last one would be the word we are looking for. If the word we
were looking up had Radical 18 and 19 strokes we would look for it in
the same way. Note that JfJ in combination may also be written [J

NB. The student should, in conjunction with this subject, revert to pages 138; 139 and 184, 185,
which contain specimen pages of a Chinese-English Dictionary.

A RADICAL, RELATIVE or DETERMINATIVE is the part of a

Chinese character which often gives us a clue as to its meaning; originally

J

over 500 in number, these radicals were reduced in number to 214. Under
these headings all Chinese words may be properly classified — indeed some,
if not all native dictionaries, are arranged so that all characters having the
same radical are put together under one heading and then subdivided
according to the actual number of pen strokes necessary to make the
remaining part or phonetic.

As we have already remarked the Chinese have no alphabet; they employ
characters (^ chee a word) which are but pictures or symbols of — things
or ideas — abstract and concrete *. "Tliey are neither agglutinative nor,
inflexional but vary in grammatical value as verb, substantive, or adjective
with their position in the sentence. There are more than 40000 separate
characters tlie origin of which appears to have been as follows:

A few simple shapes of visible objects were followed up by others more

although they may be classified phonetically. "We know that there are two
hundred and fourteen (214) Radicals, hence the Chinese dictionary may
be said to have 214 divisions under which all words may bo found. We
know that these Radicals are kt>ys as it were, to the language; find the
Chinese key, count the number of strokes employed in making the Radical
and tiien count the additional strokes which go to make up the word or
character (of course it is presupposed that the student in faniilliar with the
Radicals). Now let us suppose that the Radical we have found consists of
three strokes, and that in addition to the Radical the word we are looking
for contains six extra strokes; we would now look up the three stroke
Radical and then look through all the six stroke words in the dictionary
under the given Radical until we found the exact six strokes that consti-
tute the word.

This can perhaps be better explained if we give an illustration of En-
glish words. Suppose that all our English words could be classified under
214 heads; let us suppose that one of these heads is the three letter
termination age and that the word we are looking up is a nine lettered
word, three of wOiich are the combination age. (The word that we are
looking up being espionage.) "We would now turn to the termination (equi-
valent to a Radical) age. On the dictionary page we would find the following,
r-age being a combination of the Radical age and 1 letter or stroke

Let us now look up a Chinese word ; suppose it to be ^JJ ; a know-
ledge of the Radicals would show us that this word was composed of
Radical 18 7J '" combination with a word containing (not counting the
two strokes of the Radical) five extra strokes. We would now look up
section 18 of the Chinese Dictionary containing all words under Radical
18; looking down the line we would see the following.

HOW TO USE
A CHINESE DICTIONARY.

We have already pointed out how all words are classified, either accord-
ing to the number of strokes necessary to form a given character, or
according to the Radical system. The latter is the most generally employed,

254

We reproduce herewith a page* showing the six varieties of Chinese
writing, the left hand column (VI) being the style of characters employed
throughout our book and other Ciiinese books generally.

The student may also be interested to know that there are some six
forms of writing Chinese characters. This it not so strange when we recall
that the English language is written in several forms. For we know that
we have our Old English Type, our Roman Type, our German Script,
our Backhand Writing, Shorthand "Writing, etc. For the sake of brevity
the Chinese in writing words of many strokes simplify their writing by
abbreviating it, i.e. leaving out the smaller dots and dashes giving rise
to the running hand or "grass" style. This is not ordinarily used in print-
ing or in printed works. It is no easier for a Chinaman to decipher certain
Chinese "grass" writings, than it is for us to decipher the chirography of
some of our friends who are careless in writing English.

The following are the names of the six forms or styles of Chinese
writing. The student need not be discouraged by their presentation here-
with. The learning of any style other than that in column six is a matter
of no importance until the Book form (soong shii) has been well mastered.

^ s"" I The fanciful style — this form often found on bronze tablets,
^ shic \ porcelains, cakes of ink etc.

^ die 1 ^''^ plain style — square characters used for writing pre-
II ' faces and inscriptions — formerly was used for official

purposes.

f^ ?"!/ Tlie pattern style — a model for good writing — works are

>fT hctm i
IV \ A stiff form of the running hand — used often in business.

(The free running hand known as the "cho" or "grass" style
— it is an abbreviation of the "harn shu" ; these abbre-
^ shii [ viations are so varied according to the whim of the writer,
] that sometimes an educated Chinaman cannot read them.

Yj 3^ ^oongj f|^g elegant form — these are the characters used in print-
|fe shii \ ing which was invented about 900 A.D.

RULES FOR WRITING CHINESE CHARACTERS.

The following rules may be observed in the writing of Chinese:* —

1. Be;iia cither at the top or on the left-hand side.

2. When a perpendicular or dash cuts a horizontal line ur one leg of an
angle, tlie latter are to be written first, (cf. radicals 19, 24, 29, 32, 33,
41 . 4:i, &c.)

3. An angle at the top on the right side is made with one stroke, and
unless rad. 4. or rad. 2 is affixed to the left of it, the angle is made first.
In radicals IS, 19, 26, 29, 39, 44, 49, 105, 124, 129, 178, 183, it
is made first. In radicals 13, 20, 34, 35, 36, 76, 122, 130, the angle is
made second.

4. An angle at the bottom on the left is also made with one stroke,
if it be alone, or be joine 1 to a perpendicular on the right, leaving the
top or right side open, (cf. radicals 17, 22, 23, 28, 38, 45, 46, 49, 90,
206.) The characters in which -Sr (five strokes) occurs are exceptions to
this rule; tlie angle on the left is made first; then the angle on the right;
the points, next; and the horizontal, last.

5. The angles '^ and L- in P^ 'a door' are made first on each side
respectively.

6. Horizontal lines precede perpendiculars, when these cross each other;
but should the perpendicular terminate with the base line, then the base
line is final.

7. In such characters as the radicals 42, 85, 77, 141, 197, 204. 211,
the perpendiculars above, or in the middle of the symbol, are made first.

8. In such characters as p 'mouth' (rad. :!0.) the perpendicular on
the left is to be written first; and the interior of such characters as ^
'a kingdom,' ^ 'a garden,' is filled up before the base line is written.

251

Thus we see how originally words were employed. Of course it is
understood that it is not a simple matter for the student to thus classify
the characters , nor is it necessary for him to attempt to do so. We have
given the above illustrations to enable the student to grasp the idea as to
Chinese characters.

It is well for the student to know that there are eight strokes used in
forming Chinese characters.

These eight strokes should be memorized together with their names. The
Chinese devote particular attention to calligraphy — so should the serious
student of the Chinese language.

250

Some other metaphorical character are

^ tawng = a linll is used for MOTHER.
M sun = the sun ascending for tranquility.
^ nut = a house for wife.
^ hun = to raise for to flourish.
The next class (6th , Phonetic) is the class under which most charac-
ters are found and is called Phonetic because, in tlie character classed
under it, one part gives its own sound to the whole figure, and thus acts
as a symbol of sound merely. This part does sometimes convey also its
symbolic meaning as well as its sound. The number of really useful phonetic
characters amounts to about one thousand and forty. These when unitcil to
the 214 radicals produce from fifteen to twenty thousand derivatives.
Class 6. Phonetic.

py kay = one's self — this character is the common part of tlie follow-
ing words all of which are pronounced kay.

bB kay ^ remember, being a combination of "self" and "words".

]^ kay = to fear, „ ,, „ „ "self" and "heart".

^ kay = to record, „ „ „ „ "self" and ''silk" (knotted

silk originally used to record events).

~^ fawng = a square — this character is the common part of the follow-
ing words all of which are pronounced fawng.
gfe /"aaingf ^ to enquire, being a combination of "a square" and "words".
j^ fawng ^ to set free, „ „ „ „ "a square." and "a blow".

4^r«u,ng=}'^j;;^;;^g«'-} „ „ , „ "asquare" and "earth".

^ ^auwg = a room, „ „ „ „ "a square" and "a dwelling".

"dt kwoo = ancient — this character is the common part of the following
words each one of which is pronounced kwoo.

ffl fcwoo = firm, constant, being a combination of "ancient" and "an en-
closure".

*J fcitioo = matron , lady , being a combination of "ancient" and "woman".

249

Some other ideographics are

^E pie (two bands) = "to salute" — the Chinese clasp their hands
together in salutation — • also means "to visit".

'I^fil sut = (heart and blood) pity.

^ l/ea = (roof, man and dark) night.

The next class (4th, Antithetic) shows by the inversion of the figures,
the antithetic significations which are attached to them. These inversions
are however not so apparent in the modern character as in the ancient
hieroglyphics; wherever the original elements of a compound are sought
for, the ancient form must be consulted.

4 = a woman under a roof sitting quiet at home, PEiCE — teakquilitt.

5 — the figures for ten — thirty years, a generation, this generation the woeld.

6 = ten and mouth — through ten generations — ancient.

HOW TO WRITE CHINESE.

The writing of Chinese characters is one of the most fascinating accom-
plishments one could imagine. With the detail well grasped it is not quite
so difficult as it would appear. Moreover it possesses a great advantage in
that it provides mental gymnastics quite unequalled by the learning of any
other foreign language known to us, and puts iu our possession a written
language comprehended by almost one third of the world's inhabitants.
Although there are said to be some forty thousand words in the Chinese
native dictionary , scarcely more than ten thousand of these words are used ,
even by savants, so that if one know three or four thousand Chinese
characters, one will have quite a working number of words in one's voca-
bulaiy. We have already spoken on page 1 , about the formation of words
by strokes and their classification under 214 Radicals. Before giviug the
rules for writing Chinese characters, we will attempt to give a brief sketch
of the symbols employed to express the sounds and syllables of this lan-
guage. Chinese characters may be divided into,* First, Hieroglyphic; Second,
Significative; Third, Ideographic; Fourth, Antithetic; Fifth, Metaphorical;
Sixth Phonetic;

The following are illustrative.

Class 1. Hieroglyphic.

(4) RS| laio Responsive particle or that used in answering questions.

„ ( Same as above except that it deuote.s more infensify, earnestness

(5) H^ lore . .

Almost always an inlerrngative particle: it is very rarely used

as responsive; it is employed when the question is finished.

PARTICLES.

The following list of particles is employed in the vernacular dialect of
Canton ; they are untranslatable, are never found at the beginning of an
expression, very seldom in the middle of it, but most generally at the end
of a sentence. They are called ^j ^ lay yum, tongue sounds, because they
'use up' with ease to the speaker the sound which is on his tongue after
the enunciation of the last word of a phrase. They serve, too, to add force
to the expression of the speaker, and often give a direction to his meaning,
and hence are to be employed with discrimination. They also, uniutentionally,
add a musical tone to the spoken language where it might otherwise sound
less euphonious. Chinese when properly spoken is musical. A proper knowledge
of which particle to employ is arrived at only after considerable practice.

VERBS.

Chinese verbs express the irf<;a only and andergo no change or inflection on account of (ease or
mood. The nominative or subject ordinarily precedes the verb eicept when the first person is meant,
when from politeness of expression it is usually omitted, unless the omission would render the nomi-
native uncertain. In order to express the time of action (i. e. the different shades of meaning dependent
on what we term mood and tense), other words are added to the verb, which by their presence give
an indication of the exact mood and tense intended; or the verb is so placed in the sentence as to
shew the context or idea intended. This simpliSes the learning of Chinese verbs immensely doing away
with the necessity of committin<; to memory any thing like the conjugations of verbs, such as obtain
in Greek, Latin, French, Spanish, Italian etc.

The passive form of the verb is rarely employed in ordinary conversation, hence the study of it
need not occupy the attention of the beginner.

ARTICLES.

It is customary, in speaking of
material objects to precede them
with a numeral eipressing the
exact number of objects intended.
— The use of the Indefinite Ar-
ticle is thus superseded. — Be-
tween the numeral and the noun,
an appropriate word called a
CLASSIFIER is iutroduced; this
word is of a generic character,
that is, it is applied to a certain
class of objects supposed in some
respects to be ANALAGOUS. In
the English language the words,
length, piece, and slice, etc. are
similarly used — as a length ol
rope — piece of business — etc. —

Thus in Chinese the word T«^
gee meaning a branch, is applied
to pens, candles, whips, and other
straight things e. g. — ■ 7^
■^p- yot gee hut — one (elassi-
fier) pen, — j^^ ^ ^
yot gee viar bean — one (classifier)
horse whip.

The adjective comes between
the classifier and its noun, thus

— ' -tX /\. ^n J""" 9^" '''*
but — one (classifier) big pen.

We have numbered the classifiers for convenience in study.

"Teu years have elapsed since last we parted,

And no sooner have we met, than we part again:

We may bind ourselves by promises to renew this meeting,

But we shall never be so young as we are now !

The shadows of the passing clouds speedily vanish —

The fallen leaf returns not to its branch :

Should I fly, like the wild bird, to seek you in the south.

In what part of you blue mountains shall we meet?"

"Those variegated hues should be less rashly exposed,
The recesses of the mountains are thy proper haunts:
The fragrant, but short-lived herbs are there,
And those airy paths will best suit thy flight:
Thy crimson form is heavy with dew,

Thy embroidered wings should expatiate in the clear breeze:
Destruction here awaits thee from the fondness of the boy,
Go then, and hide thy treasures from his reach."

• From "Poetry of the Chinese" by J. F. Davis.

The authors have thought it wise to introduce here, a reproduction of
a Chinese Primer, which by being presented in an interlinear form, will
enable the student to grasp the idiom of the language.
We have given the phonetic pronunciation in italics
with the literal translation opposite each character.
WANG YING LIN who lived A. D. 1223—1296 is
reputed to be the author of this remarkable work.
Professor Giles of Cambridge University in his preface
to the Three Character or Trimetrical Classic, says; —

Word "It is an elementary guide to knowledge for Chinese
children arranged in 365 alternating rhyming lines

kim of three characters to each , and containing about 500

^^^^^ different characters in all. Every child throughout the

v*v ^"^ Classic , ■ , ,

*«*^r-i» Empire begins his or her studies with this book,

learning to repeat a certain amount daily, until the

whole is known by heart. It is the foundation stone

of a Chinese education. Its importance therefore to

foreigners who wish to study the book language of

China and to be able to follow out Chinese trains of thought, can hardly

be overestimated. Serious students would do well to imitate the Chinese

school boy, and commit the whole to memory". At the bottom of each

page will be found a smooth rendering of the English literal translation.

Like the English, the Chinese require a written form of numerals which can not be altered without
discovery, for State and business affairs; hence in Im[)erial Proclamations, business communications
etc. the written numerals are employed just as we, in filling in a banking cheque, write out in full
the amount or face of the cheque.

The second form of "commercial numerals" is used in book keeping — store accounts and other
transactions requiring rapidity of written expression — in fact it is a sort of "short hand" numerical system.

The student will note that we have included in our money, weights and measures classification,
only those most commonly used.

The verbs in all lessons are to be regarded as being in the infinitive niood; thus Jv' FO "H^ i^jL
a^oto chtttig ye hawk, I wish (to) learn.

The PRESENT PARTICIPLE is often expressed either by the infinitive alone, or by its combi-
nation with an adverb of tiaic. In other cases Ike word T^ hii/h, to be (— is), is used, as in English
before the inOnitive and adverb Thus e.g. "he is eating" is either 'fB' Y^ n^*" ^^ ko-e liigli yart

gun he is eating or 1^ jfj] 3^ [T^j ^o* !/" <"<"' y""' ii^ "o" ((>'= i^") 'io«') «»'•

The POTENTIAL .ly^y is sometimes rendered by ^(? Ao, good.

The PAST PARTICIPLE is expressed by the adverb of time, the particle P^ lay sometimes
following the verb.

The particle HM ''"'. o ''"'^ before a noun signifies some, a little.

The verb •ftjf _;>), to do or to make is often added to other verbs, as an inlensivc iiarlicle; e.g.
fllL litf 77 kcij-oo jo dough, it is called "dough".

The verb ^S he oo, to understand is often used in place of "^ vwooe, can where in English
we should use the words can, to be able thus KJ^ ffiSE Ci ^-j*' (rac nay he oo tag chee more literally
you understand wrile word (question mark) is can you write?

The student will also notice that compound words are not infrequent and that the monosyllabic
character of the spoken language is by no means as uniform as is generally supposed.

Possessives are formed from nouns and jiersonal pronouns W the addition of PBF kay — sign of
possessive case — but in every-day speech no distinction is observed between the nominative and
]iossessive e. g : JJjj "^^ V^ ngaio jate deep I (classilicr) plate, i. e my plate; there is no distinction
of gender.

)^, cJiee, place is sometimes used by itself to express here more especially when it means merely
iti place.

The verb to he may be omitted if \\- jo-e, to be, be used; unless it be desiredto emphasize the
fact of a thing being in a given situation.

The plurals of o«r, ^foiir, their are formed by adding Pj^ffl day.

The plural of nouns are formed by altering the classiHers to pPvT ^f^*^^ — ^'S" ot' possessive
case — thus D/g^ llg 71 nay ko yim — this (classitier) man — becomes in the plural D/g^ H>| TV
nay deet yun, these men.

The possessive form of pronouns is seldom used in practice; thus instead of Jt PW •^g Sffi
iiyaii) kay jaie deep, my (classifier) plate ^PG •^S- /Ctf; uyaw jalc deep — I (classilii'i) plate — is the
more usual way of eiprcssing my.

Pfl* lar is frequently added at the end of a sentence for harmony.

And, as a copulative for substantive (rendered by "H". kooiiy and T^ cap) is not of very frequent
use and will not be translated in the first few lessons.

It is customary, in speaking of material objects to precede them with a numeral expressing the
exact number of objects intended. — The use of the Indefinite Article is thus superseded, — Between
the numeral and the noun, an appropriate word called a CLASSIFIER is introduced; this word is of a
generic character, that is, it is applied to a certain class of objects supposed in some respects to be
AN.\LAGOUS. In the English language the words, length, piece, and slice, etc. are similarly used — as
a length of rope — piece of business — etc. ■ —

Thus in Chinese ihe word Tw ijee meaning a branch, is applied to pens, candles, whips, and other

straight things, e.g. ■ T«? -^Bt. yol gee but — one (classifier) pen, • /^^ jffe mj 'jot gee

mar bean — one (classifier) horse whip.

The adjective comes between the classifier and its noun, thus • Tn5 "T^ -^s ijot gee die but —

one (classifier) big pen.

IN ALL LESSONS CL\SSI11ERS ARE INDICATED BY (CL). For a complete list of classifiers
see subsequent pages.

There is no article in Chinese, although a demonstrative pronoun or the nnmeral "one" frequently
supplies its place.

The Mood and Tenses of the verb are not marked by inflections, particles being used in their stead.

There are no case inUectioLS in Chinese, hence the same word answers for I or me according to
its place in the sentence ; thus 5k '(S "gate baij — 1 give, is when reversed 'j^ ^jj baij ngaw
give me.

In ordinary colloquial, the copulative conjunction is often replaced by the verb when several nouns
are coupled, thus give me Ireacl, iul/er, and cojfee becomes in Chinese give Iread, gire butter, give coffee
me. Many Chinese verbs are divided compound words and place (in speaking and writing) the object
between their component parts, thus to tiring is literally Tjftu yK, neem lo-e — carry come. Bring me a
cup of tea would be carry cup tea come me.

The interrogative particles are respectively used rather in observance of custom than because of any
marked difference in value, though -41 ?»o, seems more generally than the others, to imjily a belief
on the part of the speaker that the answer will be aflirmative.

Willi the root or "Radical" idea thus clearly defined, the student will
further observe that these radicals may, ami in reality do, furnish a
means of classification for all Chinese words, (rather tiiau a classification
founded on the number of strokes in a word or character). We have noted
that the Chinese have no alphabet, but they do possess 214 Radicals under
which head, all Chinese words may, for the written language, be properly
classified. It is not necessary at this stage for the student to memorize these
"Radicals", though it will well repay one to occasionally glance over the list,
so as to familiarize one's self with the general arrangement and appearance
of the words. For a list of "Radicals", and for further remarks on the
formation of Chinese words, see subsequent pages.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. - The Chinese Language has no alphabet;
each character is a word; heuce the necessity for the student beginning to
memorize characters at once, eacli word or cliaracter thus learned being an
addition to one's vocabulary. Written Chinese words may be classified according
to the number of "strokes", each character contains; by "strokes" we mean
the number of separate strokes of the pen necessary to write a given word
or character, thus the number of strokes of the pen may vary from one to
twenty or more. The simple or uncomplicated stroke words are few (com-
paratively) in number, hence it is impossible to give a beginner, any such
thing as a primer, with a long list of easily written Chinese words; the
first four or five lessons, of this book however, furnish a number of easily
written, and easily remembered words. The numerals under each Chinese
character in lessons I, III, IV, V, indicate the number of strokes of the
pen, necessary to form the given word; it is advisable for the beginner to
copy these characters, trying to "verify" the strokes in each.

In lessons I, III, IV and V the student will note a similarity in the
appearance of some of the characters; i, e.; certain words have as it were,
a common root or "Radical": thus in lesson I the Chinese character y^
y>in — a man — appears in 20 cliai'acters; (in combination the J\^ becomes
'^ and is almost invariably placed at the left of the word or character). As
the student progresses he will observe that many Chinese words are compounds,
or, combinations of two or throe or four separate Chinese words or characters,
the dissection or analyses of which will, often reveal the idea, conveyed in
the written character; thus ^ iio-e female, and -^ gee child, in combination
become ij^ Jio — good; -^ ^jun a man (standing), and ^" yin a word, in

SECTION I.

EXPLANATION OF PRONUNCIATION.

The sounds of the Chinese -words are given in italics, all words being
spelled phonetically. As given in our system, they represent the nearest
possible approach to some familiar English combination of letters e.g. to
express the long broad "o" instead of printing it "do" we print it dough and
so pronounce it. When is doubt as to the exact pronunciation always recall
the nearest approach to an English equivalent — thus cheye is ch and ei/e,
pronounced monosyllabically chejje. Remember also that all phonetics that are
not monosyllabic are indicated by the employment of hyphens e. g. n-yoi-e,
koo-c, lioo c, etc. etc.

Ati is pronounced like the au in autocrat.

Aio „ „ „ „ aw in awe.

Ei/e „ „ „ „ word eye.

IffA „ „ „ „ igh in high.

Oo „ „ „ „ 00 in BOOTY.

Oi „ ,. „ „ oi in oil.

Otv „ „ „ „ ow in cow.

Qu „ „ „ „ qu in question.

V " " >f " " " ft

V „ ,. „ „ ii (in German) GLiick.
Ung „ „ „ ,, nag in HUNG.

N.B. The brackets eniiiloyeil throughout our book indicate comi)Ounil words, i.e. words of two
or more comiioneut parts.

trust, add to the value of our book. We are indebted to some earlier writers,
notably Lobscheid, Kenny and Bevan.

To Professor Giles we are deeply indebted for the many kindly sug-
gestions lie has made, as well as for the sympathetic interest he has shown
in our work since it's inception.

In conclusion we wish to extend to our printers, the firm of E. J. Brill,
of Leyden, Holland, and their able corps of assistants under F. be Stoppblaak,
Esq., our sincere thanks for the unfailing and untiring efforts they have put
forth to make a successful issue of our book possible. When it is remembered
that our printers have been separated from us by over four thousand miles
of ocean, any small typographical errors will no doubt be indulgently over-
looked by the careful reader.

In presenting this book to the public, we trust that any imperfections
which may unfold on the perusal of it's pages will be taken lightly, inasmuch
as we have each given to the consummation of our work, many hours which
professional men can but poorly afford. Being a work of love, we can only
hope that "Love's Labor" has not been lost.

WALTER BROOKS BROUNER.
FUNG YUET MOW.

Our method is, so far as we are aware, entirely original and unique, in that
it presents the study of Chinese, iu true Chinese form. The first section of
easy graded lessons is quite comprehensive and if thoroughly mastered by
the student will give a solid, broad and deep foundation for the superstructure.
In presenting the Chinese primer, we have adopted an original plan, by
making of it an interlinear production. The Chinese primer was purchased
in New York City and the interlineations and interpretations thereof supplied
by us. In obscure passages, or when in doubt as to the exact interpretation
thereof, we have followed the rendering of Professor Giles, than whom a
greater Chinese scholar does not exist. Apart from its value as a Chinese
model, the English translation gives us an index to Chinese thought. Some
of the aphorisms are unique and others are majestic in their simple grandeur.
The third section of the book is important, in that it contains an immense
amount of valuable material to those who would acquire Chinese. For unlike
any Chinese work that we have ever seen, there is here presented for the
first time a comprehensive analytical presentation of Chinese words. Take for
example the word 4^ ^^ VtJIj bi'tter; in Chinese it is called ngow nigh yoto;
now it so happens that each one of these three, is a word in itself, any one
of which may be met with independently in the language. Our book gives
the meaning of each word. Translated, njoto nigh yoio (butter) is literally
cows, milk, oil. It will be seen on investigation of the third section of our book,
that (contrary to the general idea of the Cliiuese language being mainly composed
of monosyllabic words) many words are compound, being composed of two or
more words ; the exact meaning of each component part has been given by us in
each instance; this method is of inestimable value to the student of Chinese.
The fourth section of our book contains about one thousand words iu
large and small type, arranged as to strokes, and having opposite each
character the root or "radical" number. It seems strange indeed that never
before, so far as we are aware, has such a representation of Chinese writing
been given either by a native or foreigner. This arrangement, together with
our chapter on "How To Write Chinese" enables the student to readily grasp
the idea of writing Chinese.

We have also given several sample pages from a Chinese-English
dictionary. These reproductions will give the student a clear idea as to the
construction and form of a dictionary. There will also be found a couple of
Cliinese Poetical selections. The copious index which we have made, will we

Chiaese is unusually difficult to acquire. This is not so, the reader is
requested to look over the section on Chinese writing before commeucing
the study of Chiaese. Once the idea of written Chinese is grasped, it ought
not to be more difficult for us to write a 15 stroke Chinese word, than it
is for a Chinaman, to learn to write such a word as plenipotentiary. This
has only 15 letters in its composition yet it takes about 32 separate strokes
of the pen to print the same. A more fascinating accomplishment could
scarce be imagined than the ability to write Chinese characters.

THE VALUE OF A KNOWLEDGE OF CHINESE. This can not be
overestimated, since to acquire it, gives one as much mental training as do
many of the subjects found in a college curriculum. There is something
fascinating in the thought that in acquiring a modern language, (i. e. Chinese)
we are at the same time acquiring a language more ancient than that of
Athens or Rome; a language which is unique, in that it is known to at
least a third of the world's population; moreover it is the only live language
extant, that antedates the Christian era.

The utilitarian advantage also is not to be underestimated. The opening
of the 20"' Century already gives promise of the prominent role China is
yet to play in world politics. Moreover commercially, the knowledge to be
obtained from our book, will be of inestimable value to those who contemplate
doing business with the Chinese. We hope to see the day when a knowledge
of the Chinese language will be as common an accomplishment, as a knowledge
of German, French, Spanish, or Italian, is to-day.

It would be a good plan before sending Missionaries to China to require
of them at least sis mouths study of the Chinese language before embarking
for China. Only those who have evinced an ability for acquiring the Chinese
lauffuaffe here should be sent to China. This method would save a considerable
outlay of money as there are many wortliy people who caunot acquire any
foreign language.

OUR BOOK. In presenting to the public the result of several years un-
remitting labor we believe we have filled a long felt want. We trust that it
may stimulate a thirst for knowledge of things Chinese and that those who
are started on the right road by our eiforts may continue until they have
mastered Chinese thoroughly. The publication of another work now in pre-
paration by us, will we trust, enable the advanced student of Chinese to
become master of the art of reading, writing, and speaking Chinese correctly.

vni

for us to acquire to speak, read, and write the language correctly; hence as
grammar may be defined to be "the art of speaking, reading and writing a
language correctly", the Chinese language may be said to have a grammar.
Just as in English, there are some words which have the same sound and
yet convey difl'erent meanings, so in Chinese; this is not hard to comprehend.
Thus in English four, for, fork, are each spelled differently, though pro-
nounced alike; there is with us no ambiguity as to idea, for by context we
instinctively know the meaning intended ; so with the Chinese. This similarity
of sounds has led to the adoption by Europeans, of a system of "tones",
which s3'stera, seeks by the placing of circumflex signs at the four corners
of a given Chinese character, to convey the exact tone of the word. This is
an artificial method, and one the Chinese themselves do not employ; because
of the difficulty of mastering this artificial method, and the discouragement
it lends to the study of Chinese, and because we do not deem it absolutely
essential to the purpose of this volume, no attempt has been made by us to
supply tones, as we believe by the employment of our system of phonetics
and the close application of the contents of our book, such a system of tones
will be found unnecessary. We have previously noted that the Chinese language
was originally mainly a monosyllabic language ; in reality few words are not
compound; a glance at the words in our book having brackets will show the
correctness of our statement. These compound words quite simplify the ac-
quiring of the language, as by their use, many words which might be capable
of misconstruction (phonetically) are thereby made comprehensible.

DIALECTS. There are employed throughout the Chinese Empire eight *
dialects, each one of which difiers from the other as much as English does
from Dutch. This hook is written in the Cantonese dialect since the majority
of the Chinese who are to be found here and outside of China are from the
Canton Provinces. Mandarin is the official language of China. It is well here
to call attention to the fact, that written Chinese is uniformily the same over
all China; a Chinese manuscript is equally intelligible to an inhabitant of
the far north or the extreme south of China, "just as the Arabic and Roman
numerals are understood all over Europe, although pronounced differently by
various nations."

WRITTEN CHINESE. There is a popular fallacious notion that written

* This refers to the maio dialects; there are said to be twenty nine dialects in use throughout
the Chinese Empire.

PREFACE.

It seems incredible that in these days of advanced learning, there has
heretofore been no suitable handbook of the Chinese language; — a book that
would enable a student to acquire, without a teacher, a working knowledge of
Chinese. The absence of such a book is the raisou d'etre of our "CHINESE
MADE EASY".

THE SPOKEN LANGUAGE is, strange to say, easier to acquire than
ancient Greek or Latin, or many modern European languages. German, French,
Spanish, and Italian are each in turn, more difficult to learn than Chinese.
Let us take for example the word hand. In Get-man we must remember
whether the word hand be of masculine, feminine or neuter gender; in
French, Spanish or Italian we must recall whether the word be of masculine
or feminine gender; whereas in Chinese, as in English, all we need burden
our memory with is the word "hand", which in Cantonese Chinese, is sow.
Once learned the word sow is irrevocably fixed in our memory. The simplicity
of such a language is at once self evident, when we are told that words have
neither gender nor declension ; that verbs have no conjugation (and may be
either active, transitive, neuter or even causal); that the language is composed
mainly of monosyllabic words, which are really root ideas; and that a word
may be used either as a noun, verb, adverb or conjunction, depending simply
on the context or as the exigencies of the surrounding words demand.

This has led to the popular fallacy tliat the Chinese language has no
grammar. What is meant by that statement is that a grammar per se has
never been made by the Chinese themselves. Nevertheless the Chinese language
does adhere to certain forms in the use of speech, which forms it is necessary

TI

fharacter, tlie whole surmounted by an adequate grammatical rendering such
as would be employed in colloquial English.

Then follows the famous classical Primer, the "Sarm Chee Kun," treated,
as regards sounds and explanation in the same way. This is the first book
placed in the hands of every Chinese school boy, and he learns it by heart.
It would be well if the foreign student would do likewise; he would thus
commit to memory a curious epitome of Chinese philosophy, history, and
biography, and familiarize himself with about five hundred and sixty Chinese
characters in the process.

Besides various other interesting sections there is a list of about a thousand
well-chosen characters written on a bold scale, which will commend itself to
all beginners of Chinese as a great improvement on the small size of type
so often employed in introductory handbooks.

But far more important than the above is the feeling of the student that
he can take up this book and positively progress from day to day without
further assistance of any kind.

In fine, any student who shall succeed in transferring into his own head
the contents of "Chinese Made Easy," will find himself well advanced on
the road towards a good acquaintance with the Chinese language.

INTRODUCTION.

The study of Chinese is attracting just now a larger share of attention
than at any previous period throughout the history of foreign relations with
the Middle Kingdom, and it seems likely that this interest will steadily
continue to develop. Considering however, the admitted difficulty of Chinese
as a written language and the multiplicity of dialects which confront the
student, it can hardly be said that the supply of guides in the shape of
elementary handbooks, dictionaries, etc., is at all out of proportion to the
demand.

Meauwhile there is slowly growing up a special class of students who
without political or commercial motives, would nevertheless be ready and pleased
to obtain an insight into the written vehicle of the Chinese language and by
and by to penetrate to the vast literature that lies beyond. For these students
Dr. Walter Brooks Brodner and Fung Yuet Mow have taken great pains to
provide a work under the fascinating title of "Chinese Made Easy" by means
of which may be exemplified the famous Chinese saying, "that a scholar
can make himself acquainted with all things, without ever leaving the four
walls of his study;" in other words, the intention is, that any one with an
interest in linguistic studies, for the sake of a hobby or what not, may gain,
with the assistance of this book a knowledge of the genius of the Chinese
language colloquial and written.

To begin with there are thirty-three lessons on all manner of subjects;
these consist of sentences in clearly printed Chinese characters accompanied
in every case by the sounds in the Canton dialect, transliterated according
to ordinary English requirements, and also by the literal meaning of each
